Pro-Obama hashtag backfires on Twitter (LOL LOL)
The Hill ^ | 9-14-11 | Alicia M. Cohn

Posted on 09/14/2011 8:00:14 AM PDT by dynachrome

A new Twitter hashtag designed to help fight misinformation against President Obama appears to have backfired in early use on Wednesday.

President Obama's Twitter feed, which is run by his campaign staff, on Tuesday evening started promoting the new website AttackWatch.com and hashtag #AttackWatch, designed to fight misinformation against the president.

The hashtag was already in heavy rotation by Twitter users by Wednesday morning, but many users are conservatives such as columnist Michelle Malkin, who offered up her own daily column as an example of an Obama "attack."

—One liners are good for slinging mud,... Good, newbie. The Union goons sling baseball bats and shiite, so when the same people give us the opportunity to express the views of the American people (and the world)and is time to ridicule these semi-juvenile, Marxist, grifters and ridicule the living HELL out of them. Go back to your Communist websites and quit trying to run interference for these bastards.—

Gee, that was an interesting post. Well, sort of.

I am dissapointed that you would so easily come to such a detailed and dead wrong perception from a single post. I expect more from posters on sites outside of DU.

Search me and read my posts. You will get an education you righteuously need, for your comments expose serous ignorance regarding my position and motives.

Or, to be brief, think before you post.

And while you are thinking, educate yourself by reading my post 51, which is a response to post 44, which is a response to my post 36, to which you responded.

Post 44 helped educate me. Yeah, it happens.

I agree! It started my day off with such a laugh, I was inspired to change my tag line. Thanks for the ping to this thread. There are two threads about it, and I pinged you to the other one too. :-)

My apologies for my post 103. I should have taken my own advice and thought before I posted. I should have sent a private message. There was no need for me to get snooty.

Apology accepted. Pardon my vitriol, please, but we have a lot of subtteraenan posters here. Most of them joined after the 0 came to rule us.

"Technology may have undermined future tyrants."

The truth and the courage to speak it undermine tyrants.

Technology is an amoral, double-edged sword. It can be used to rapidly disemminate it, but it can also be used to crack down on, and distort it.
